From Streep to Thatcher

Tag

After portraying a string of notable women, Meryl Streep is
in talks to tackle yet another real-life figure - Britain's
former prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

The Oscar-winning actress is set to play Baroness Thatcher
during the countdown to the 1982 Falklands War,
which led to a huge boost in the premier's
popularity following Britain's victory over Argentina.

Actor Jim Broadbent is reportedly in
negotiations to portray Thatcher's husband Denis in the film, which
would re-team Streep with Mamma Mia! director Phyllida Lloyd.
